I had to ban someone over the weekend mainly because the user was continuously attacking other forum members on a personal level. Each attack itself didn't warrant the banning, but the cumulative abuse reached a level that was unacceptable, topped off with a complete disregard for the forum rules and finally an attack on an Administrator.

It is frustrating when this happens as the forum is designed to be a place where everyone can meet, converse, debate and enjoy supporting the team together regardless of personal opinion. Negativity and criticism is acceptable - that is the whole point of this website - but there is a difference between being a part of the community as opposed to being just a douche-bag.

Please, for the sake of your enjoyment of this site and for other people's enjoyment of it, please have a bit of consideration for others.
I really hope that it's the last ban that I have to issue.

As much as i hate to admit it...Michael Ennis has got too much class and toughness for someone like Robbie Farah! Yeah sure Robbie & Benji would make outstanding touch footy players, but that's it!
P.S..And the other thing is.. why is it that everyone can see that there is only so much juice you can squeeze out of a lemon (Sheens) but Wests management can't ?

There have been several questionable actions taken by various forum members over the past couple of weeks that have tested the rules of this site. After much debate, the mods have decided to enforce a higher standard of moderating when dealing with attacks on members of the football club.
In respect for the fact that these people, their colleagues or friends may view these forums, the following rules must be followed:

- Extreme attacks on individuals will be removed. This includes comments made in posts, avatars or signatures

We will not deny users the opportunity to criticise individuals within the club but we will stand for a higher level of maturity and civilised debate. What exactly qualifies as "extreme" will be left to individual moderators to determine.

We believe that any argument can be made without resorting to direct and extreme personal attacks.

If you have any questions or if you wish to report a post, please use the "Report" button at the top of each post, contact a moderator via PM or at contact@weststigersforum.com

Hey there Im super new and super unco with this site (true) so thanks for the guidelines (though mostly they are logical - abuse is unacceptable).

Im so pleased to find a Tigers site and with so many users its awesome. Cant wait to interact more when the season starts up and by then hopefully ill be replying to posts that werent posted in 2008 hahaha

hi everybody im new to this so bear with me; I was wondering if there are any mad crazy fanatic wests tigers supporters on the sunshine coast , qld. Who are interested in getting together on game day to watch the game and cheer our mighty tigers on, please show me your interest, ps, fanatics only.

I noticed recently a post on here bagging Anthony Watmough and making derogatory remarks about him. I don't have a problem with that, but when I posted one questioning the wearing of the DISCREDITED BALANCE BRACELET by Benji, it didn't get a look in. Why, because he is a high profile player??? You should be able to comment constructively regardless of who it is. If this site won't allow that then I will post it on some other teams site

i just had a look through the logs and can't find any post by you being deleted.
Are you sure this happened? Please forward any communications that you may have received in regards to this and i'll look into it further.

and I assure you, any criticism of PowerBalance is very much welcomed here.

I sent it on Feb 17. It was in relation to Benji still wearing this PowerBalance Bracelet. I submitted the comments from the ACCC and Choice about it being a sham and people are wasting their money buying it. I had seen Benji on TV the night before at a school and low and behold he was wearing his bracelet. I'm sure somebody has told him they are useless or is he being paid by the maker of this shonky product. Doesn't he have a Manager to tell him if he doesn't understand things??
